Desarrollo de una red IoT para el monitoreo de variables de un sistema de agua, en la junta Sana Cuendina

Abstract

The current technical project proposes to design a functional prototype for the reading of drinking water consumption amount by users from the SANA CUENDINA Board, which is located in Amaguaña parish, Cuendina neighborhood that provides the water service to 560 families. The project is innovated by using the new communication technologies available, it was used LoRa, based on IoT for the development of the prototype in order to be able to monitor, more accurately, the data obtained from the readings of water consumption amount, in order to improve processes by using low power and cost equipment, this saves extra payments to the person taking water readings consumption amounts from the water management board. A modular star network was used to monitor user water consumption to establish a LoRaWAN network of Lora 32 devices (communication modules) which are nodes that process and send the data obtained by the flow sensors that are connected to the modules by allowing to decrease the operating time in the readings of the variables and sending data to the office where the water consumption bills are generated, a testing zone 5km surrounding area from the office was limited for this purpose. The proposed prototype meets the requirements of the water board: savings in consumption costs, accuracy in the reading register, efficient communication between the receiver and the Transmitter.
